Open back headphones for Player

    Hi all,

    I'm new here and grateful for all the really useful posts.

    I've just ordered a Player and now to get some open backed headphones to avoid annoying my neighbours any more than usual šŸ˜œ

    I've read numerous long and interesting posts about impedance but still don't fully understand.

    Kemper have confirmed that the Player headphone output spec is: 32-600 ohms, 330 mW @ 32 ohms, 220 mW @ 600 ohms.

    I'm considering the following headphone options:

    Audio-Technica ATH-R70X Pro

    Maximum Input Power: 1,000 mW at 1 kHz

    Sensitivity: 98 dB

    Impedance: 470 ohms

    Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro

    Nominal Impedance Headphone 250 ohms

    Nominal sound pressure level 102 dBSPL (1mW/500Hz)

    Sennheiser HD660S2

    Impedance 300 ohms

    Sound pressure level (SPL) 104 dB (1 kHz, 1 Vrms)

    Would appreciate if someone could confirm if the above should be capable of 'normal' listening levels.

    Any other open headphone recommendations also welcome!

    Many thanks šŸ™

  • All the Kempers can drive any headphones. The preamp is just great. I'm using the DT-1990Pro, but it works perfectly also with the 880Pro and the 770 (have all 3)
